The netting in Willapa is different than GH. They will enter the bay South and just go in and out. In GH they tend to come in and stick. Bottom line? Chinook came in on time and went to the bigger than normal size. Most moved up with the rain so it is waiting but I will run with they will be a little late.

What will not happen is they will not stage in the bay or tide water. The Friends Landing reach or more likely South Monte to the mouth of the Satsop for Nooch & Sat fish. The Saginaw reach below Porter for the upper Chehalis stuff and they will park as the spawning time is mid Nov to 4th week.

Bottom line..................relax upriver as your going to be ok........bay and lower are going to be strictly as they pass through. Nobody is moving fast but steady upstream ( with lock jaw at present ) so stay cool as if they are coming it is early and staging is out.
